Palestine,

<br>
I agree that the ISOC community should clearly condemn the use of
<br>
the internet as a war tool. In this specific case I still have to
<br>
ask if we have sufficient evidence that the Internet outages are
<br>
a result of deliberate shutdowns rather than collateral damage
<br>
from general actions of war.

<br>
<br>
This past weekend, the internet in Gaza was completely
disconnected, impacting all communication services for two days.
This disconnection has serious implications for basic human
rights, safety, and the livelihoods of Gaza residents. This
marks the fourth internet shutdown in the last 40 days,
attributed to three main reasons:
<br>
<br>
1. Destruction of over 70% of communication infrastructure due
to bombings by the Airforce and tanks.
<br>
<br>
2. Prevention of the entry of any diesel, leading to no
electricity or power sources for essential communication
services.
<br>
<br>
3. A political decision from Israeli officials, who control the
international gateway of Palestine.
<br>
<br>
*In the last 40 days, the ISOC community's position does not
meet what is expected regarding this intentional shutdown, which
violates the ISOC objectives and vision. We urge.*
<br>
<br>
On the other side, we are surprised to observe that some ISOC
members and chapters support this internet shutdown and promote
it on their official websites.
<br>
<br>
Please note that we do not want to discuss the political issues
behind this conflict, which started 75 years ago, as this is not
a political platform.
